Sale of Lauds und liumi grti
tion.
It is good advice many of the South
ern papers are giving to planters—“not
to sacrifice their lands,” that is to ssy
nut to 801 l them at the extremely low
prices now prevalent. But speaking
for ourselves alone, we would put this
oouosel into another form of words,
amounting to the same thing in the
grand result, but proposing to work it
out by a different policy.
If we were large landholders iu Geor
gia, we would study into ingenious meth-'
ods by which, in other sections of the
country, portions of land are disposed of
at low rates in order to increase the val
ue and price of the remainder. This
is the way in whieh Northern and Wes
tern landholders work out their fortunes
and we think the same policy might bo
succssfully adopted hereafter in the
South.
There is a great deal of talk in the
prints, aL>d by committees and public
moetings, about induoiDg outside im
migration ; but it seems (o us the prop
ositions do not take a form sufficiently
specific and oor Crete. Men do not im
migrate to a far distant and foreign
country upon general prospects and
chances. They want to know all about
what they are d"iug and going to do,
and count up the expenses of-the ven
ture to within a few dollars.
Now, to explain our meaning, let ns
suppose a number t f contiguous land
ho’dirs >n Georgia, anxious to increase
the value of their pioperty and to b.r> g
it into requisition f»r settlement upon
this principle, Fuat, we supp se they
would each coDtribuie to a common
stock a considerable portion of their
lands, so as to form a large solid tract,
to put in market on joint account. This
they might have laid <ff into twenty
five, fifty or a hundrt and acre lots, und
put every other one in market at very
r educed pi ices- from one to five
dollars per sera
To ass et a r.aleand ecloniaition of
this land, they should procure a good
map of it and a well written pamphlet
setting forth particular of price,
productiveness, climate, health, crops,
and capabilities—the way to get th. re
—expenses of the j uruey and ev- ry
other important matter tlea'ly in detail
Hire they would present something
distinct, dt finite and and rilhbie to im
migrants ; and the next point in hand
would be 'he formation of bodies—col
onies—of immmigrints, who should
come together bringing their own soci
ety and social and personal habitudes
and enjoyments with them.
To do this, ono of this association of
land owners, or a wtll selected agent,
should be sent to the point upon whieh
they have chosen to operate—to Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland, Germany or
wherever els© the land owners have de
termined to procure their oclonists—
and here, in localities judiciously select
ed for the ohjtcf, the agent should op
erate with time, patience and sagacity
—he should strive to organise a com -
muoity of colonists and should offer the
moat solid and practical inducements to
the step.
We will suppose all this done sue
cessfully. The agent returns with his
colony and sees them comfortably locat
ed upon alternate lots. The as o ittion
has then the reserve lots to offer, as will
as all their other private laDd lying con
tiguous to the settlement. The ohaoce
-of a profitable sale depends, of course,
upon the success of the colony aod the
reports they send back to the region
from wbenco they immigrated. It may
well be supposed, if they prosper and
make money, as they ought to do, these
lands will be inactive demand, at bet
ter prices, for the accomodation of their
neighbors, relatives, and triends who
may wish to emulate ibeir exau pie.
And finally, tbe influence txtendiny
and widening. Such small beginning!,
may set on foot a broad current of im
migration. For interest controls all
these movements, and men are quick to
bear and eager to emulate any eou.se
whieh (ffarn a fair pr’speet of personal
advantage. Moreover, men anu women
are social and generous It constitutes
a grand inducement to emigrate ana set
He on a par'ieuhr spot, that sons, daugh
ters, ur.cles, aunts, cousins and aunts
and friends have gone before and fet
tled there. It kecomes, then, more
like going home than going abroad.
Now, seme such i ptration as this,
we are disposed to consider almost er
sestial to any extensive imtaigratin to
the South, or eager cUn and fur S'O'h
ern lands to »ri-e from such immigra
tion —Macon Itleyraph.

The digital) Admiral and the
Yankee Sailor.
Since furreted vessels came into
fashion, the nation bss become a-great
naval power, and astonished the world
by tie diede of daring. Out of the hot
bed of war, too, admirals have been
born, BDd of these, since peace catne
sailing with their fleets to foreign ports,
have been fetted and honored, where,
hut a few yeara ago, they would have
been allowed to come and go with
scarcely a report
W ithin the recollection of the writer
an English admiral, £ir Isaao Coffin
visited thest shores, und was well re
ceived by the citizens. He was u
great admirer of America and its in
stitutions, and bad a strong affection
for those of his name and lineage who
had settled in this country He man
ifested this regard by founding on the
island of Nuntucket, where many of
his race then dwelt, a school, where,
free of expense, those wbo came from
the same stock w ith himself, could be
educated. That this school still exists
—for the endowment was liberal—the
writer has little donbt.
Shoitly after the war of 1812, an
American merchant vessel command
ed by one Gardner, of Nantucbe', was
ordered by an English man of-war to
heave to, to be searched tor B iti-fi
sailors w ho might he harbored among
her crew The United States was
obliged to submit to such things id
'.hose days, and ace rdingly » young
midship man came alongside in
his boat- It was customary at that
time for the captain to receive, at the
gangway, with lifted bat, the officer
whu toarded; but young Gutdner,
however, did noi feel di piosed to pier
form this ceremony, and permitted the
midshipman to come over the vessel’s
side with ». little attention bestowed
on him as if he were tut a c< mmon
sailor
1 his lack of courtesy aroused the iie
of the mulshij man, and he approached
Gar-oner loudly cursing the Yankees
ami especial y denouncing thp capiti.in
of this pitmiculur vese) Without a
word o‘ rep y,Gardner'Seized the mifl
dy by his w ais - I and and quickly patch
ed him notwithstanding his struggle ,
overboard into the sea, from wtiieh he
was picked up by bis crew, u tei ng
threats (A vengeance aga net Gardner,
and rowed back to his ship.
01 course .-ucn treatment to an En
glish officer could not be pin sed over,
and an armed boat was soon pulling
out to Gardner's vessel, and that wor
thy was compelled to vicot the Britc-h
ship, where iie was brought before the
Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin, who deinao
ded to know why he had commoted
such an outrage upiotl th ■ King’s officer
Young Gardner replied that any !
man, King’s officer or not. midshipman I
or admiral, who ventured to curse him
on the deck cf his ow n vessel and in
suit the flag of his country, he would
servo in the same lashiou, and if the
Admiral didn’t b lieve him, he might
try the experiment himself.
The Admiral, instead of ge’ting an
gry at these hasty words, was inward
ly pleased at his boldness und tnde
pet deuce; aad finding, after a little
talk, that Gardner’s father and himself
were kinsmen, and had been school
mates, he took gieatly to him, and ad
vised him to apxilogise to the midship)-
man. But young Gardner was stub
born, and swore be would neither apiol
ogise nor in any way acknowledge that
the course he had taken was otherwise
than prop>er ; they might blow his ship
into the air und hang him before he’d
do it At last, by skillful cross-ques.
tions, the Admiral managed to get
from him an expression which he was
satisfied to cons rue in the light of a
sufficient upxilogy.
bo the affair ended and Gardner re
turned to his vessel. A few minu’es
after be reached it. the Admiral’s gig,
flying the broad piennon, came along
side bearing an invas ion to young
Gardner from the admiral to dine with
him But Gardner re'urned word that
he’d be struck dumb—it he’d conde
scend to cine with an Englishman
And so the smalt boat went back und
the merchant vessel trimmed sail* and
bore a* ay.

Remarkable Adventure with a
Kattlesiiake Singular In
ataure of Cruelty of a Noiitb
eru Planter to eue of Ilia
Laic Slaves.
We are indebted to the kindness of
a friend for an account of the follow
ing interesting chain of incidents :
A planter in the viemi y of Adam’s
Run, on Thursday morning went on a
drive with a pack of seventeen hounds
Id due course of time, a fine huctr was
started, and as he caine within range
of the gun of our friend, he received
the contents of both barrels. On went
the deer, however, into an adjoining
swamp, pursued by the w hole excited
pack iD full cry. Neai by a negro was
hoeing cotton, who, wishing to assist
his master (we beg pardon, employer,)
in providing a fine haunch for dinner,
as w?JI as impelled by a natural taste
for field spiorts, threw down his hoe,
and ran into the swamp, to prevent
the bounds from tearing the deer to
pieces. As he was making his last
leap, which would laDd him by the
side of the “stricken deer,” he had the
misfo. tune of coming down up u a
huge rattlesnake, who not-liking au-:b
untimely intrusion, quick as lightning,
turned upon the sable invador, and
struck his fangs through Cuflee’s pan
taloons, into the exterior aspect of the
middle-third of the thigh The pl an
ter came up almost immediate'y after;
when Cuflee remarked, just a* he wus
about to faint, “Uh, Massa K ,
a rattle-nuke bite me !’’ pointing tothi
ci tied up monster by his side Cuffee
was piul’.ed io one side, and a dis
charge of both barreis of his gun
made his snakesliip shuffle off that
moral coil Fourt*en rattles gave
proof if his age und | rowess, Mr.
E then addressing t’uffoe, re
marked, “although you are a grand
rascai, I shall not let you die in that
way;” and ins ant'y taking cut his
hunting knife, cut op n the leg of Cuf
fee’s snake-p>ieri ed pantaloons apiptiied
his lipis to the wound, and then and
there sucked lrom it the deadly ser
pent’s venom. The negro was taken
home in a state of insensibi ity ; but,
although v.-ry feeble, Mr. E
thinks he will recover
There are a few facte connected with
the relation*, past and present, of the
principals in this adventure, which
gtentiy enhance its interest Cuffee
(our now de i/uerre, for th.s negro) was
tho slave of the gentleman who thus
saved his life, until the lower part of
our l?tate was occupied by the Feder
als, w hen Le (Cuffee) join and the Uni
ted States colored army ; and by a
singular coincidence, was confronted
toon afterwards wdh Lira Ihlo muster
on the buttle field iu North Carolina.
Cuffee oven aliot at him but tnissed
and was taken prisoner by fain), relas
ed of couse soon afterwards, when .he
Confederacy went “up tho spou’,” and
the “Union came in" After tbe
war was over, and peace (so-called)
bad once more returned to bless (?)
our borders, Cuffee, bearing no malice
for having shot at his master, present
ed himself before Kim and at the old
plantation askiug to be employed, BDd
has been there ever since.
We commend this s ory (for every
word of which we vouch, and, if re
quired will give tbe names) to our
Northern friends, Forney, Gree y, Ste
vens, Phillips, and tbe whole j ack of
them, and hope they will give it wide
circulation, as showing wbat base, sel
fish, vindictive, dastardly fellows our
Southern plan'ers are.

Dexcenl of the Niagara Full*.
The Detroit Free Press *nys; Sfhco
the daye of Blond n furar, when men
and women stood aghast at the fool
hardy daring of the great rope wulker,
in the pieifonnance of his daring feats
at Niugra Fulls, no such excitement
h a been known. A piroject has recent
ly been started, however, which,if car
ried into execution, will eclip>so any
feut of daring ever yet attempted.
Charles Ockford, of ikia city, the
sixty bout- skater, has conceived the
idea of making the pierilous passage
over the Fhlls of Niagara in un India
rubber life boat of pieculiar cons'ruc
tion. A few weeks ago the idea sug
gested ilself to bis mind, and upon
communicating it to some eastern gen
tlemen, it was proposed by them that
a purse (f tbir'y thousand dollars Ls
raised to induce him to make the un
dertaking. He according'y perfected
his scheme, and the contract for mak
ing the boat has been let to the Good
year Rubber Company for SI,OOO. —
The boat will be an oblong, with a
mean diameter of sight leet, six inches
thick a: the top and sides, and three
feet thick at the bottom. A shaft of
the same material wi 1 extend from
■i le to side in the centre, on whicb will
be swung on a pivot, a sea', to which
the adventurous occupant will be fas
tened.
Opiening at the top will be an apper
ture sufficiently large for h m to get.
insi ;e, after which it will be filled with
air and closed up. It is calculated
that sufficient air can be retained to
sustain life about twenty minutes A
small cable will be attached to the
ba.l, by which it will be towed after
the descent shall have been mads, for
which purpose parties will be station
ed in bouts immediately below the
Fu Is.
I he model of this novel craft is now
in ttiis city, nnd there is no doubt that
the attem; t to curry this startling por
ject in'o execution will be made duriDg
the present season Mr. Ockford is
qui e confi lent that lie shall succeed,
but the chances for success cert .inly
look dubious. Should he succeed, Mr.
Sidnej Doty, of P.,tiac, will a’so un
dertake the same feat.
A Drnukard’s Tnre
Some mouths ago a gentleman took
rooms at the United State- Hotel, aud
advertised that he had discovered a
epecifio for the cure of drunkenness.—
He would not divulge the secret of wbat
compounds he nsed, but furnished med
icine at so much per bottle. He did
nut have as many applicants for the
care as he had expected, consid ring the
extent of tbe disease; in fact
tbe malignant cases did not teem
anxious for relief. They rather appear
ed to erjoy ffieir milody. A few how
ever, placed themselves under troai
mrnt, and some were cured—whether
by taking tbe medicine or by not tak
any strong drinks, we are not prepared
to say. One of the cured ones was in
our office yesterday, and he informed ua
that he had fsith in thu medicine, that
he bad rigidly carried out the direc
tions of the dootor, and now he had the
least taate for iDtoxieatiDgdrinks,wllere
as one year ago he was an iunebriate,
aud could not get along with less than
a pint to a quait of w htsky per day.
He informed us that he bad, at some
trouble and expense, procured the re
oeipe, wbicb be authorised ua to pub
lish for the benefit of sufforiag humani
ty. It ia as follows : Sulphate of iron
five grains, peppermint water, eleven
drachms j spirit of nutmeg one drachm,
twice a day. This preparation acts as

We are pained to record another mel
anol oly t-uieide committed in ibis city
about six o’cJ 'ek, last evening, by
J Clayton, E-q., for many years an
Ignored and leading merchant of this
pise.
Mr. Clayton, we learn, has been in
wretched health for some months Ilis
family and friends has remarked very
great di proFsion of spy-its and at times a
settled glo'.-im in liis conduct for several
wer ka-pnst, and we lea n that his fa mi
ly have kept a very c!o-<e watch over h's
movement*, fearing that, in tho totter
ing condition of (its mind, he might re
sort to violence upnt- Lis persoD.
Last evening, while left alone for a
ebon time st his boose on Greene
street, he procured • double bane! gun
—proceeded to,load it, and then went
up into attic, when, placing the muzzle
of the gun to his left side, near tbe
heart, he dieebarged its contents upon
his person, it fl ofing imtant death.—
We team that in the very spot where
he feii, he lost a very promising an, a
ftw years since, by the accidental die
charg3 of a gun in's eomr-idis bands.
Mr. Clsyton w»s about sixty years of
age, and has aiwßys been respected and
esteemed as a geuileman of great prob
erty posseseing many excellent quaii'ies
of bead and heart. To hie btnaved
cbilren we tend* r our sincere condo
lence— Chronicle dr Sentinel.
